A lovely young woman had an estate sale of her mother's "stash". Here are my purchases. She had bought a lot locally from several LQS's and from Keepsake Quilting.

The daughter said she had a lot of unfinished projects and I am going to offer to help see what can be done with some of them.

So nice of you to offer to help finish projects - it will mean alot to her I think. It looks as though you you found a deal.

I see a few Thimbleberries fabrics in there - I am in need of one particular one and if its in there and you could part with some I need at least 1/4 of a yard (would prefer a half but beggers cant be choosey) I have listed the post where I need this fabric Let me know thanks cheryl :thumbup:

Lots of beautiful material there. Enjoy your time making things with them.

It's wonderful to get hold of someone's stash and then actually use it. My buddy and I have used lots from the two stashes we aquired and it always makes me happy knowing some quilt angel is smiling.

Hmmm...Quilts Plus is a local Kalamazoo shop. Anyone know if it is a chain also in Indiana? Otherwise the quilter shopped here in "the 'Zoo" at some time. Just found that interesting. Nice find!
